Cooking StepsHow to cook Golden Pan-Fried Egg-Coated Mantou Slices step by step

Step 1 Detail

Slice the 2 mantou into pieces and set aside.
Step 2 Detail

Prepare a plate of plain water. Lightly dip each mantou slice into the water — just a quick touch, don’t soak it. The egg coating will absorb some moisture later, so a light dip is enough.
Step 3 Detail

Beat 3 eggs with salt to taste. For a thicker, crispier egg coating, you can add one more egg. Coat each mantou slice evenly in the egg mixture.
Step 4 Detail

Heat a flat pan and add peanut oil. Once the oil is hot, place the egg-coated mantou slices in the pan. Pan-fry over medium heat until both sides are golden and crispy.
Step 5 Detail

A plate of crispy-on-the-outside, tender-on-the-inside pan-fried mantou slices is ready. One bite and you’ll taste the savory fried egg and the soft mantou — pure childhood nostalgia. Pair it with some fermented bean curd for an extra treat. Absolutely delicious!
